At just 25 years of age, Afeez paints with a masterful hand. I find his work exquisite. I was blown away when I came across his pieces on Instagram. It didn’t take me long to contact him to learn more about him and, of course, to ask him to join the ARTssembly.

Afeez is a ball of energy and positivity. He talks about his art with such passion and drive that it’s hard not to listen with attention and admiration.

His art takes children as its main models and aims to illustrate innocence in all its beauty and vulnerability. I loved hearing that his family, especially his mother, has supported him in his artistic career from the very beginning. Combining Afeez’s energy, determination, passion, and extraordinary talent with the support of those closest to him, I can’t see how this artist wouldn’t reach artistic heights. I wish him all the best.

Thanks again for this invigorating encounter, Afeez. And I take your invitation to come to Nigeria and experience your art to the full very seriously.
